Right inguinoscrotal hernia

This elderly male patient has a large Rt. inguino-scrotal swelling with all the typical signs of an inguinoscrotal hernia.
The ultrasound images show a "mass" within a large fluid with bowel and mesentery suspended above the right testis. This is a typical finding in male indirect inguinal or inguinoscrotal hernia.




The right testis appears to be normal in size and shape despite the huge hernial sac compressing it.
